A husband of good religious sister spends most of his time watching or playing football. She does not have a television at her home, Alhamdulillah. So her husband spends most of his time outside home to watch football. She does not have children.
My question:
Shall she just buy a television so that her husband stays with her at home? As she spends the whole day alone while her husband as away.<\/p>","answer":"
Playing football (soccer) may be permissible or it may be haraam, depending on whether the player adheres to shar’i guidelines or goes against them. This has been explained in the answer to question no. 3633<\/a>, 84291<\/a> and 75644<\/a>. <\/p>\r\n A wise person should not keep busy with playing it or watching it, even if it is permissible, because time is a man’s capital, and undoubtedly the husband’s being busy with that and staying out of the house because of it, is a shortcoming and negligence, because time is too precious to waste, so how can he waste it on something that brings no benefit? It would be better for him to take care of his family and try to make them happy. <\/p>\r\n
